Transport Logistics

In many countries of the region, the logistics industry is still at a nascent stage and therefore faces challenges associated with high costs and poor performance. While some countries in the region rank among the best by international standards, the logistics performance of many of the least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing states still lag behind. As a result, logistics costs in many ESCAP member and associate members account for a significant proportion of gross domestic product (GDP).
